Roach Remembered Him.


From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
An intimate friend OF John Roach
:old this OF him at the time OF his as
;ignment: cat twenty-five he had q
wife and two children. At this time
ne was n slight slip OF a fellow and did
not weigh much over 120 pounds. lie
became i'll and was confined to his bed
until all OF his moderate savings were
zone. One night, when there was
scarcely n penny IN the house, the
physician came to see him, and after
examining him said; John Roach, you
should know tie truth. You must
lie. Your lungs are hopelessly affect
ed. tell you this so that il you can
make any provision for your wife and
children you will yet have time Roach
was in despair lie saw absolutely no
hope for him'in the future. lie did
not fear death, but the thought OF
leaving his wife and children to n des-
titute, poverty.stricken life pierced
him to the heart. He prayed all night
that he might live In the night II
vision came TO him. 1t seemed 10 ii
he were looking directly into heaven,
and from that abode OF happiness
came n promise to him that he would
live. The next day fellow.workmen
came to see him. The workman was
going West.
"He came to see John Roach, he
thought, for the last time. He bent
over him and kissed him goodbye be-
lore he went away. After his depart
ure John Roach found that he had
left urder his pillow his weeks wages
in the very envelope given Mt the
works. John Roach did not die.
With the modest help OF his friend he
got start. Thlrty-three years after he
was walking down Broadway when he
saw the back OF plainly dressed man
whose figure seemed familiar to him.
He was moved by some spirit or de-
sire to speak to this man. He stop
ped him and said. 4 do not know
your name, but | ought to know it.
What is it?' The man gave it. 1t was
the name of the workman who had
bcfriended him on his dying bed. Said
Roach; DO you know me?' No i am
John Roach, was his reply, the ship
builder Yes, | have heard OF you in
the newspapers. But you must excuse
me, | have in hand II very pressing
matter of business Wait moment
said Mr.. Roach. Did you ever know
another John Roach?' yes, but he
died some thirty odd years ago NO,
he didn't; | am that same John
Roach, was the shipbuider's reply.
1.-THE man was very much aston
ished. but he again made a move to
pass on, as he was pressed for time.
But Mr.. Roach made him stop and
tell what his business was. He found
that his friend had a small house and
shop in Brooklyn. 1t was to be sold
under the hammer to redeem mort
gage Mt ~ o'cloc; that day. 1t was
IL o'clock. The man was hurrying
see the sheriff to ask him if he
could not'put of the sale little longer.
Mr. Roach said to him: / know
that sheriff well. You will lose no
time stopping with me- He dragged
him into. restaurant, where they
had n hurried lunLh. During the stay
in this place Mr.. Roach made out a
check Tor The full amount OF the mort
,age. He then took his old friend in
a carriage and they reached the sher-
ifs office in time to redeem the prop.

CONGRESS AND THE EXTRA SEES
SION

There are no indications that the present
session OF Congress will settle the treasury
surplus question, in which event the Presi-
dent has made known to the country his
intention Of calling an extra session of Con.
gress.
rhe Democrats have the administration,
they also have majority in the House. from
which alone finance measures can originate
For nearly quarter Of century they have
enacted the role Of critics-now they are
called upon TO take the part Of actors Their
timidity is remarkable on the part of gentle.
men who have so long and loudly assured
the country of their ability and willingness
to effect benefcent reforms.
Not only will they not do anything, they
viii not discuss the deslrability Of doing
anything. AFTER denouncng the existence
of surplus and proclaiming their faith in
tariff reductions as means Of lessening it,
they absolutely refused to let Mr. Morrison
introduce bis tariff resolution bill in the
House The majority it would appear asks
the minority to introduce remedial measures.
II the Democratic majority of the present
House continue not to take any steps in the
way oi solving the treasury surplus problem,
in other and palmer words disclose its in.
ability and incapacity Of handling great
problems OF finance, at tbs extra session, as
now seems probable, the Republican party
will I've called To the rescue This latter
necessity would, we think, be- rather humili-
ating to Democratic statcsmanship-but the
emergency is growing and the public will
is that ii be met, and met at once.
''Use the money now in the Treasury for
great public purposes, and at the same time
reduce the taxes Provide for the public
defense, for the navigation Of the rivers and
at the same time throw the burdens of
the peoples shoulders" says the New York
Star, and II would appear to US a good
Democratic policy.

DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE.

Ia a letter to Hon. A. G. Thurman, ex
pressing regret at his inability to attend the
banquet Of the jackson Democratic Club
at Columbus, Ohio, January 8, Lieutenant
Governor Barnett Gibbs. Of Texas, wrote:
II hspe you will have full meeting and
that the result will be favorable TO Demo
cratic interests and future success, and 10
IA more specific declaration of principles
The Democrats of the South are anxious for
a reduction OF taxation and expenses, and
they feel assured that this could be done
without impairing the efficiency of the gov.
ernment OF the obligation of contract We
are also much troubled over the encroach.
menis Of the federal judiciary. We have
ia Texas more than 1900 miles of railway
in the hands Of receivers, operated by q
fell, l4l Judge u New Orleans, and our PEG.
ple, ssprived n the right of suing such rail.
yszy eomPsaies la sls..i own local courts,
are put ~ much unusual and unnecessary
expense and Inconvenience. This condi.
ton OF things has existed for several years
and there is no limit to il In time except the
discretion Of the judge. II is my opinion
that the Democratic masses Of Texas will
not be satisfied with anything less than spe
cific and unequivocal declaration of prnci.
ciples on these points by the national Dem
ecraiic party. Our people feel thai NE now
have an aristocratic government, openated
ia very extrayagant manner On Demo-
cratic money, and that the federal courts
have too great an extent become the ma
chimes OF corporate power and have absorb.
cd too much Jurisdiction.
"To large majority in this section the
war and the issues just preceding and sub.
sequent are mere matters OF history and
affiliations are and will be the result Of our
convictions on current issues. A majority
OF Texas Democrats would prefer 10 see the
national party in the minority, rs u result

uent, than 10 see II a majority party AS the
result Ot tempcrizing policies.
"The voters nj each election show less dis

eifoHls rather than 20 the declarations and
promises Of leaders or party platforms"

CEWISE AGITATION.

IN WISE dGlI4IlON.
The year 1886 will be memorable for
more reasons than one. 1t has been year
of physical disaster, supplemented with the
mutterings Of discsntent and the threats of
anarchism. Not the less curious of the
developments Of the year is the uniformity
with which the panacess proposed for social
l and industrial complaints involve conHsca
ton in one form or another. With the
so-called advanced thinkers" like George
who have reduced stealing to philosophy,
this is not surprising, for, after all, they are
simply advocates of the good old days eight
hundred years agone, when barbarian ruled,
and those who had the might toek what they
wanted, just rs the Georges, and the Avel-
ings and their ik propose to do, when they
have obtained the power. But We are sur
prised to see leading journals, the Albany
Lac Journal for one, advancing and advo-
eating the repeal of the patent laws.
With Its arraignment Of abuses that have
crcpt into the patent system, we make no
issue. The administration of all law is &C.
casionally subject to corruption and injus-
tice, but this forms no argument for the
repeal Of all law. With all their abuses
America owes much Of her prosperity to
her liberal patent laws, too liberal, perhaps
in that inventions are somstimes not crit.
cisedclosely Ape,sevat :. tent Is granted. The
argument advanced by those who have Ag
tated the repeal OF the patent law is that the
real inventor is often defrauded of his rights
This is W be regretted, but the public al
large profits by the invention, even il the
inventor is occasionally overrelched by
some wealthy or INSCRIPTIONS rival. The
public, aside from its sense of fair play, has
no special interest in the question who in
vented the telephone. The public profits
by the invention, even If 1t was stolen. We
desire that every man, inventor or what not
might always receive what he had honestly
earned, but because he does not, because he
is sometimes defrauded, is no reason why the
public should be denied the benefit OF a
system which has enriched us rs a nation
and added tenfold TO the comforts AMI con-
veuiicnces OF civilized life. 1t is not the la W
that makes the fraud, that is the work Of the
individual. To repeal the law would re,
move the stimulus to invention, AMI oul
progress in many directions would imme.
diately end. Men are not yet, as rule, So
philanthropic that they will give their days
and nights tn the work of inventing con
veniences for other people without the hope
OF reward.
